Erythromycin, combined with other agents, is a macrolide antibiotic used for the treatment of acne vulgaris and various other skin infections. These fixed-dose topical combinations target Propionibacterium acnes and have anti-inflammatory effects. The D10AF52 code identifies its use in dermatological topical preparations. Topical combinations of erythromycin are still in clinical use for acne, though resistance concerns exist.
